My Cousin, Oh To Leave Us So Soon
I remember changing diapers
When you were about two
Remember some of the capers
You'd get yourself into
One such such caper comes to mind
We'd all been down to nap
It's been one I'd like to rewind
Because to me, naps were crap
If just one of us were awake
You never would have made the climb
Resulting in a sick mistake
We could have lost you, before your prime
Whenever you became a man
Gone away was the clown
I even became a big fan
Though I wasn't around
You went and became a soldier
And still I'm not around
Circumstance after another
Brought me back to town
I befriended you on face book
To keep myself in touch
With my computer I can look
See how you are and such
To share about myself in turn
My plans to reconnect soon took a dive
Today at four o'clock I learned
You no longer were alive
